a new day, a new hope

Right, lets start by saying that this day will be better than yesterday's disaster. After the car had imploded I got a call from Mark, 'the sites down!' says he. On further investigation it turns out we have gone 80gb (80!) over the bandwidth limit. If a video works out at about 30mb on average that means over 2600 viewings in the past month. I didn't think that was possible but Mark seems to think it may have been considering all the coverage it has had with the launch night, news reports etc. Anyway, the host didn't think to tell us we had used that much bandwidth and along with it a huge bill. No, their answer was to just pull the site. No warning. That's great business sense, NOT. It should be back online soon when Mark hands over the keys to his credit card.

Oh yes, after much deliberation I'll be getting my Hickman line taken out today. I figure for the 2 hours work it will mean total peace of mind for my trip away. So there you go. I'll let you know how it goes.
